Aron Baynes Out With Broken Hand

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes (hand) broke the fourth metacarpal on his left hand in the opening minutes of the Wednesday's game against the Suns. Baynes will have surgery and is expected to miss four-to-six weeks. This is a tough blow for the Celtics who are still without Al Horford (knee). Daniel Theis and rookie […]

Marcus Morris Is Out For Wednesday

Boston Celtics power forward/ small forward Marcus Morris (knee) will sit out tonight's game against the Suns. The 29-year-old complained about soreness in his right after practice, so it appears that the Celtics are just being cautious. He dealt with this issue during the preseason and should be considered day-to-day going forward. While the C's […]

Jaylen Brown Will Play on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (hand) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Brown is dealing with a bruised hand, but it's not significant enough to keep him sidelined. He's someone worth considering in DFS contests against the struggling Suns.

Jaylen Brown is Questionable for Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (hand) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It's unclear how serious this problem is, but Brown is dealing with a bruised right hand. Marcus Smart and Gordon Hayward should see more playing time if Brown is sidelined on Wednesday.

Al Horford Ruled Out for Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Horford continues to miss games due to left knee soreness. It's unclear when he'll be back on the court, but fantasy owners are just going to need to stay patient. Aron Baynes, Daniel Theis, and Robert Williams will […]

Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from last night's slate of NBA games.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/16/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Today is a weird day of basketball. With only four games on the main slate, I'll be sure to throw in some picks for the early game at the end of the intro.

Marcus Smart Knocks Down Season-High Five Threes

Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Marcus Smart hit a season-high five threes during Saturday’s loss to the Detroit Pistons, finishing with a season-high 21 points in his ninth start of the year.

Jaylen Brown Scores Season-Low Two Points

Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Brown had an extremely quiet night Saturday against the Detroit Pistons, finishing with two points on four shots, both of which were season lows. He added two rebounds, two assists and two steals across his 23 minutes, but the lack of offensive contribution from a player who recently lost […]

Al Horford Won't Play on Saturday

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (knee) won't play in Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This is not surprising news after head coach Brad Stevens said he expects Horford to miss a few games. This will be Horford's fifth game on the sideline. That means more playing time for Aron Baynes, Daniel Theis, and Robert […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/14/18): NBA DFS Lineups

The ninth Friday of the NBA season is here and upon us.  While you shouldn't expect to see a 50-point triple-double like James Harden put up against the Lakers on Thursday, several stars will be on the floor tonight and some of them will be looking to bounce back from subpar performances including Giannis Antetokounmpo, […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Is It Time to Trade Chris Paul?

Imagine being so great at doing something that you could take away the main element which has led to your greatness and still be better than almost everyone else at doing whatever your great thing is. Example: Back in 1986, the Boston Celtics played a game against the Portland Trailblazers. In Portland. Larry Bird -- […]

Gordon Hayward Ruled Out on Wednesday

Kyrie Irving Will Play on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is "okay" and will play in Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards, according to Jay King. He sat out on Monday, but isn't on the injury report for Wednesday. Terry Rozier would head back to the second unit and lose value and playing time with Irving returning.

Aron Baynes Could Play on Wednesday

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes (ankle) could play during Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. However, it sounds like if Baynes does play that it would only be limited minutes.
